Last Minute Halloween Costumes | What I Was For Halloween

I'm actually a little sad about the way that this Halloween season has played out. I have been super busy with school and life and before I knew it, it was halloweekend and tomorrow is Halloween. To be honest it was almost a mad dash to try to figure out what to be the week before all the parties of the weekend. Thank god for Pinterest or else I don't know what I would have done.


The picture on the left is my inspiration from Pinterest, most of this costume is from Amazon and with the one-day shipping, it was a lifesaver. This pink skirt could be used for so many other costumes.


When Bob Ross came out on Netflix Kyle was glued to the TV, he couldn't get over how awesome the guy was. So I felt like it was my duty to come up with a Bob Ross costume. There was so many Bob Ross costumes on Pinterest I used this one as our inspiration. And yes that is a beanie baby squirrel safety pinned to Kyles' shoulder.

Some other amazing last minute costumes from Pinterest:

Mary Poppins and other halloween ideas!


I can't believe it is Halloween this weekend, with it being so close I threw together a Mary Poppins costume. As I was scrolling through Pintrest there were so many cute Mary Poppins costumes so it got me inspired to make my own version.


All this outfit needs is a black skirt, a white button up shirt, and a red bow tie. The umbrella is a cute touch! I made this bow tie out of a plain red bandanna and a safety pin, it was a lot simpler than I thought it was going to be.


 You can also add a black hat, and a duffel bag for a more authentic look. There are so many diy's on pintrest to add flowers to a hat for a real looking Mary Poppins hat.



Here are some other cute costumes from Pintrest that I loved:

Dog Accessories

If you read my blog then you know that I have two very cute pups that I adore. I love to keep them healthy and happy and love to get them new products. Pet Magasin is a small company that specializes in dog products. When you buy these doggie diapers they come in packages of three in the cutest patterns. These diapers are machine washable, highly absorbent, and a waterproof outer layer. They have a velcro closure and aren't crinkly so they won't be irritating for your pup.


My pups weren't the biggest fans but after while they grew to ignore them and didn't even notice they had them on. These diapers are mainly for untrained pups or pups who get excited and dribble. My pups don't need to wear them all the time because they are trained but they may be a good thing to have for a long car ride. 



Also how cute are the patterns on these diapers!?! I am in love with the cactus print and the flamingo print is so adorable. These diapers from Pet Magasin can be bought on Amazon. 

Thanks to brandbacker and Pet Magasin for sponsoring this post.

Outfits Throughout the Week

This past week I took photos of my outfits every day to show you guys what I wear on a regular week in my life. Right now I am running back and forth between school and work and home so right now my style is mainly casual and comfortable but still looking professional and cute. Which can be pretty hard sometimes so I thought these would be good ideas.

Monday was super warm here this past week and I had to go to work after class was over so I like to wear an outfit to school that works well with work so I don't have to change later on in the day. 

 Old Navy: Off the shoulder top (similar) | Old Navy: White jeans | Target: gladiator sandals | Kendra Scott: Necklace 


This is typically what a Tuesday outfit looks, Tuesdays I work at the preschool so leggings are my go to. I like to be comfortable to run after the kids and be able to not worry about my jeans getting paint or juice on them. 
Gap: Sweater (similar) | Old Navy: Leggings | Target: slip-on sneakers | Charming Charlies: Necklace


Wednesday's are my longest day of the week but on this particular Wednesday, I had to present my study that I am working on to a couple of classes so I wanted to look more presentable then casual. I love taking a simple outfit and adding a necklace and a vest to dress it up. 

Old Navy: Long sleeve tee | Jcrew factory: quilted puffer vest | Nordstrom: jeans | Jcrew: booties | Charming Charlies: necklace 


This is the outfit I wore on Thursday, which isn't a typical preschool outfit but I had to present my study later on that day so I dressed up more than I usually would. 

L.L Bean: Freeport Jacket | Lauren Conrad: Similar | Nordstrom: Jeans | Target: Nude Flats

Friday was a rough day I had aerobic class so I wore a workout outfit and had a very hectic morning and ran out of the house as fast as I could but I'll still link the outfit!

Fleece: Patagonia | Aerie: Chill leggings | Marshals: workout top (similar) | Nike: sneakers

Navy Everything

This is the definition of the perfect chunky fall sweater and it is Navy which makes it even better. I know some people don't like navy tops with dark jeans but I am a true lover of the two colors together.





Outfit: Cold shoulder sweater: Rosegal (similar) | Jeans: Nordstrom (similar) | booties: old (similar) Necklace: Charming Charlies | Earrings: Kendra Scott 
 I have a severe obsession with navy clothing, my entire closet is almost filled with navy clothing items. I recently saw this blog post about a closet tag where you go through your closet and show things like your favorite items and what you can't let go of. I think I'm going to do it this winter! 

Okay tangent over, back to this navy outfit, I am really into the cold shoulder trend right now I think it is such a good look for anyone and in like so many styles. This rosegal sweater is unfortunately sold out but there are others like this! 

I am also loving these Kendra Scott earrings, they're on the smaller size which I like because they aren't over the top but are still petite and beautiful.

Fabfitfun Fall box!

My fall fabfitfun box finally came in and I am so in love with it. This is my second box and I can say that I am officially hooked on this seasonal subscription. This month had so many cute items in it I am obsessed with all of them.


This fall box does not disappoint it is filled with so many useful goodies. My favorite items would have to be the gym bag, the charcoal mask, and the red lipstick. The thing I love the most about the fabfitfun box is that it is stuff that people will really use.


Let me know if you got your fabfitfun box!

Flower Power





Outfit: Rosegal: Lace-up sweater | Target: Floral embroidered jeans (similar) | Forever 21: Flats

I am loving these jeans, it brings me back to when I was little and wore jeans like these all the time. They are so fun and such a cute little touch to brighten up a pair of jeans! I am also loving this sweater from rosegal it's the perfect chunky sweater for fall. This outfit is full of cute little touches like the lace up on the sleeves of the sweater.

My heart goes out to the people of Las Vegas and the families of the ones who were hurt. Something needs to be done in order to stop this madness. It is absolutely heartbreaking.
